I have an 86 f150 with a 302. I need to know what amp alternator and if its internal or external regulated. It has power steering and no a/c

If the alternator has rear terminals then it will have an external regulator. If the terminals are on the side then have the regulator on the back of the alt. Not sure what the amp rating would be.

I replaced my alternator in my 86 F250 with a 130 amp alt out of a 93 tarus. At least I think that's what it was out of. Lights are bright and never dim no matter what's on.
